Terms Used In Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:1627

  • Administrator: means the secretary of the Louisiana Workforce Commission. See Louisiana Revised Statutes 23:1472
  • Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.

Whenever any claim involves the application of the provisions of La. Rev. Stat. 23:1601(4) the individual handling the claim shall, if so directed by the administrator, promptly transmit all the evidence with respect to such case to the administrator.  The administrator or the representatives he may designate shall, on the basis of the evidence submitted and such additional evidence as he may require, make a determination with respect thereto.  Such determination shall be the final decision on the claim, unless within fifteen days after the date notification was given or was mailed to a party’s last known address, an appeal is filed with an appeal referee.
